I haven't followed this discussion closely, but a TCP level mechanism would be difficult to use over HTTP because HTTP connections are nearly always multi-hop and so use multiple TCP connections. So unless intermediaries already have compatible congestion behaviour implemented (which I doubt is the case, though I'm far from an expert), you'd need to be able to signal them via HTTP extensions... which comes with the obligatory disclaimer that the desired end to end behaviour won't occur until the vast majority of existing intermediaries are upgraded to support those extensions. Mark.
